The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection Show

1. Heidi Klum

Stars got gorgeous for a good cause at the Heart Truth Red Dress Collection show. Surrounded by a stunning Swarovski crystal set, this season's celebrity beauties walked tall in custom shoes from Brian Atwood. Heidi Klum closed the show in a gown from John Galliano. "I loved that the dress is sexy and slinky," she said. "It shows the curves, but not too much." And did the professional strutter give any tips to her fellow models? "No! Everyone has their own flair and their own way and they blow kisses and they do funny things. This is about these women being here and having an important message." In keeping with this theme, a number of dresses will be up for auction in support of women's heart health awareness on clothesoffourback.org.

"I'm wearing a gorgeous big red dress," gushed Mary Tyler Moore icon Valerie Harper before the show. "It’s a chiffon gown with see-through jacket by Pamela Rolland. It is very flattering." The actress, who will be starring in Broadway's Looped, is an old pro on the runway. "I have participated in the red dress campaign before," she said. "One year I designed a dress!"

12. Dara Torres

Olympic swimmer Dara Torres spent the day tweeting back and forth with her chosen designer, Rachel Roy. "I tried on the dress today and we had to make a few changes because I don’t think she realized how big my muscles are!" said the gold medalist. "I couldn’t fit in one of the sleeves, but it is so gorgeous, I am proud to wear it." As for her runway walk? The gorgeous Torres paused at the top of the stage, shrugged and took off her 4" heels, proceeding the rest of the way barefoot.

13. Estelle

British songbird Estelle complemented her ruffled Zac Posen design with daring gold sandals. "I didn’t want to wear black or red. I thought, 'I’ll go for gold to do something different.'" And the stiletto-rocking star had no fear about heights. "I like really tall high heels. I’m like, 'The bigger, the better!'"

Newscaster Robin Roberts knows what she likes. "J. Crew, baby! They dressed me for the Oscars and they have had me ever since." Despite her sartorial confidence, the first-time walker admitted to jitters: "I am nervous about literally hitting the runway, like Carrie Bradshaw. I’m gonna put a little stick 'em on the bottom of my shoe."
